[Binding of 3H-bungarotoxin by nerve trunks of the frog during excitatory conduction]

In the frog nerve, 3H-bungarotoxin and 3H-acetylcholine binding increased whereas the acetylcholinesterase activity decreased in rhythmic stimulation. The enhancement of 3H-bungarotoxin binding to nerve during the rhythmic stimulation seems to stem from transformation of "inactive" forms of acetylcholine receptor of glial membrane to "active" ones.
